Who We Are

At Prado Activewear, we’re more than a sports brand — we’re a movement. Born from a passion for pickleball and deep pride in Puerto Rican culture, our mission is to connect players with their roots through high-quality, purpose-built pickleball gear.

Our Mission

We exist to bring together community, culture, and performance. Every pickleball and paddle we design carries a story — a tribute to Puerto Rico’s spirit, resilience, and vibrant energy — so you don’t just play the game, you carry that feeling with you wherever you are.

What Makes Us Different

• Performance-First Gear: We build pickleball paddles and balls designed for real play — durable construction, consistent feel, and outdoor-ready performance you can trust.
• Cultural Connection: Our designs are rooted in Puerto Rican identity — from Taíno-inspired symbols to color choices and storytelling — so you feel connected every time you step on the court.
• Community Driven: Whether you’re new to pickleball or a seasoned player, Prado welcomes you. We’re building a family of players who care about their game and their roots.
• Made for Players Everywhere: While our designs celebrate Puerto Rican culture, our pickleball gear is created for players around the world and built for courts wherever you play.

Our Story

What started as a simple idea — to blend culture and sport — grew into Prado Activewear. Our first release, the Taíno Sun pickleball ball, came from a desire to bring island pride to the court in a fresh and authentic way. From there, we expanded into paddles and other gear, always guided by the same principle: players first, culture always.
